[D]Two young lovers with their bo[A]dies on f[D]ire
[D]Aching to swim that r[Bm]iver of des[A]ire
Leaving inno[G]cence there on the b[F#m]ank by their clo[Bm]thes
A m[D]an holding on to a wo[A]man letting g[D]o
[D]There's a man with a bottle on the ot[A]her side of t[D]own
[D]Swimming with the memory t[Bm]hat he can't dr[A]own
[G]Lord it ain't sunk in that she a[F#m]in't coming h[Bm]ome
Oh a m[D]an holding on to a wo[A]man letting g[D]o.
CHORUS:
His h[F#m]eart is telling him to h[Em]ang on for dear l[D]ife
Cause d[Bm]eep down he know she's letting [G]go for good this ti[A]me
[D]There's a daddy walking his dau[A]ghter down the ais[D]le
[D]Fighting back tears and f[Bm]orcing a s[A]mile
Over tw[G]enty-two years he wa[F#m]tched her g[Bm]row
A m[D]an holding on to a wo[A]man letting g[D]o
lead
[D]In Hill Valley home there's a fe[A]eble old m[D]an
[D]And he's holding on to a fr[Bm]agile old ha[A]nd
And the an[G]gels are coming to ca[F#m]rry her h[Bm]ome
Now he's a m[D]an holding on to a wom[A]an letting [D]go
chorus, key change
[E]Two young lovers with their bo[B]dies on f[E]ire
A[E]ching to swim that r[C#m]iver of de[B]sire
Leaving inn[A]ocence there on the [G#m]bank by their c[C#m]lothes
A m[E]an holding on to a wo[B]man letting g[E]o
[D]Aching to swim that r[Bm]iver of des[A]ire
